Meet the mixol­o­gist

St. John’s, N.L., na­tive Shane Bee­han started tend­ing bar be­cause he wanted to learn a craft. “I am in­spired by the lin­eage of great bar­ten­ders,” says the 29-year-old. His best-honed skill? Old­fash­ioned cus­tomer ser­vice. “I cu­rate an ex­peri­ence for ev­ery guest who walks in the door, whether it be con­ver­sa­tion, ad­vice or a cock­tail.”
